Brutus — The Confident Explorer

At just 10 weeks, Brutus is already making his presence known as the largest of the litter, with a sturdy, confident build that hints at the impressive dog he’s becoming.

Brutus naturally steps into a leadership role among his siblings. He’s the one who ventures out first, checks things out, and then circles back—often keeping a quiet eye on the others, especially his smallest sister. There’s a thoughtful awareness to him that feels beyond his age.

He’s a curious explorer at heart. New spaces, new sounds, new experiences—Brutus approaches them all with a steady, happy confidence. He’s not reckless, but he is bold in the way he learns about the world.

Despite his growing size and confidence, he has a genuine desire for human connection. After a good play session, Brutus is just as happy to come settle in close—leaning into you, soaking up attention, and yes… attempting to be a lap puppy, even at his expanding puppy size.

He’s the kind of dog who will likely grow into a loyal companion who wants to be near his people, not just in the yard, but in the rhythm of your own daily life.

The ideal home and family will be:

• Appreciates a smart, observant dog with natural confidence
• Wants a dog who is both engaged and affectionate
• Is prepared for a large breed with guardian instincts
• Can provide structure, consistency, and continued positive training
• A secure private fence
• Children over 7 years old

Brutus’ adoption fee of $350.00 includes his vet visits, basic vaccinations, heartworm/tick tests, preventative, fecal test, wormer, rabies vaccine, neuter, and microchip.
